Just use a sequence of one-line comments::
# Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut a
# sapien tempor, suscipit orci sed, elementum nisl. Suspendisse at
# lacus ut diam dignissim lobortis ac vitae augue.
#
# Phasellus bibendum neque a justo vulputate, quis accumsan quam
# egestas. Etiam aliquet blandit ante sit amet cursus.
A decent code editor (e.g. Emacs, Vim) will allow manipulation of
a sequence of one-line comments in Python's comment style, and allow
treating it as a paragraphs for purposes such as re-wrapping the lines.
I agree with others that triple-quoted strings are best reserved for
string literals (including docstrings), not comments.
